  • A proven track record in teaching, with a student-centred approach that supports a diverse range of learners.
  • Experience in designing and delivering curriculum in WIL, CDL, or related disciplines.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to foster collaboration and build strong relationships.
  • A commitment to upholding cultural values, including te reo Māori and tikanga Māori, with competency in te reo Māori being an advantage.
Mahi Ngātahi | Who You Will Work With
The Professional and Community Engagement (PACE) Programme at the University of Canterbury (UC) is a forward-thinking, interdisciplinary initiative designed to offer students hands-on, work-integrated learning (WIL) experiences. Originally developed as an internship programme within the College of Arts, PACE has since evolved into a university-wide offering, providing students from all disciplines with the opportunity to apply their academic knowledge in real-world settings.

At its core, PACE is built to bridge the gap between theory and practice. Through its suite of interdisciplinary courses, students engage with authentic workplace environments, developing critical career skills and gaining exposure to professional contexts that align with their individual interests and aspirations. The programme is designed to foster equity, ensuring that students from across UC's diverse range of academic disciplines have access to meaningful work-integrated learning experiences.
Since its centralisation in 2022 within UC's Ako ā-Mahi | Work-Integrated Learning Hub, PACE has become a model for promoting interdisciplinary learning in WIL, addressing the growing complexity of today's workforce. By reimagining the curriculum to serve the needs of all students while maintaining academic rigor, PACE offers a blueprint for the future of WIL, empowering students to succeed in a dynamic, ever-evolving job market.
